1) He would be mixing 3 hours straight rare Biggie music. We’re talking live versions, original versions of songs like “Dead Wrong”, demo tracks, and never heard before mash-ups with new verses!!
2) He would not be speaking at all during the mix! (Now I realize it’s because he has clips from huge artists who worked with Biggie or were influenced by Biggie.)
3) This mix would make me tear up.

DJ Total Eclipse from The X-Ecutioners drops The J Tape, featuring tracks, mash ups, and remixes from famous artists sporting the J name (J. Dilla, Jay-Z, Jay Electronica). Influenced by the works of the legendary J. Dilla (RIP), Total Eclipse decided to mix Dilla’s incredible production with the vocal stylings of Jay-Z, one of the greatest MCs of all time, and Jay Electronica, one of the most exciting artists to arrive on the Hip-Hop scene in a number of years.

Long regarded as Japan's number one DJ, the grand imperial DJ Muro is the self proclaimed 'King Of Digging' and boasts a long list of credentials which more than back up the claim. The script with "Dirty 45:00:00 RPM Right Place Wrong RPM" is 33rpm records played at 45rpm. It shouldn't work, but it does!

Fast, furious and feel-good funk 45s, dancefloor-ready soul bombs and percussive treats aplenty for the newest release from Japanese DJ maestro MURO, the follow up to his first "I Love 45s" volume. High spirited and high charged, "Open Sesame" is crammed with under-the-radar 60s floorfillers. Top notch stuff once again from the main man, who shows no signs of slowing down

DJ Skizz & Petey Cologne of the world famous Halftime Radio Show at WNYU bless us with this dope mix of the latest underground joints. If you’re a fan of real rap (bka Grown Man Rap), then look no further. Strictly head nodders. Much props to Fat Beats NYC, DJ Skizz, Dharmic X, DJ Eclipse & Petey.
Featuring new music from the likes of Action Bronson, Timeless Truth, Prodigy, Bumpy Knuckles, Mac Miller, Copywrite and more. Enjoy.

Muro's killer reggae credentials are well known via titles like Rockers Revenge and his Dub Trump series, but this special new double CD is his strongest foray into the genre to date. Joining Muro on this double header is Cojie of imperial Japanese reggae sound system Mighty Crown, who's taken time out of his schedule keeping lesser crews running scared to lay down over an hour of classic reggae bullets. Superbly selected and expertly mixed, these 50+ shocking dubs and tough roots obscurities sit on the cusp between analogue and digital.
